GJMauro12 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 I've been waiting for this thread all week. I have the rifle tag in my pocket and I'm trying to decide if I should go up this weekend. That's not a serious post is it? If you've got a dang deer tag you shold be hunting! Unfortunately it is. I've already been in the mountains too long this year for 7 other hunts. I'll be hunting the 25th through 31st for sure with a couple day trips before that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted December 14, 2016 Bucks are solo in my areas. Does are herded up. Hopefully the storm rolling in will get them going a little. Still early though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PseAZ Report post Posted December 18, 2016 Saw a Nice mulie buck getting pretty uneasy this weekend when a small fork kept trying to get between him and a doe. He wasn't full rutting but its sure close. This was in 28 on Thursday. Also saw another nice buck fallowing a doe with a fawn all over the mountain side the same morning.

Game Planner Maps Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Hunted around Arivaca this weekend. Saw one decent buck with a group of 8 does. Also glassed 16 does occupying a canyon with two bucks that didn't seem to notice the does. None of the bucks looked swollen or rutty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
